    He doesn’t even know where he is. Great team? We’ve lost 2 of our last 3.

    Talks like he’s just a hired gun. No loyalty at all.

    Dude says all the right things. Says the Canucks were his favorite team as a kid and Naslund was his favorite player. He was jealous of Bo when he got drafted because they were teammates.

    He says the Canucks were his childhood team growing up and was Jealous when we picked up Horvat instead of him at the 2013 draft. 🥰

    >”I’ve played with Ian Cole in Colorado, played with Tyler Myers in Buffalo my first two years, Pius Suter one year in Chicago, so I know them and all the Russians of course. We all get together in Florida in the offseason and have the same strength coach so we’re in the gym together. My wife and Ilya Mikheyev’s wife are good friends, so we hang out a lot in the summer, we’re like neighbours and see each other like every day. Andrei [Kuzmenko] and I grew up playing for the same minor hockey teams, his dad was my coach but Andrei was one year younger than me. It’s like five to eight guys that I know on the team so hopefully that will be an easy transition for me. And you can ask my teammates, I’m not a shy guy.”

    Guy knows half our team

    He seems like a good kid, and as a Russian native, took a massive stand by publicly opposing Putin’s war. I hope he finds success with the Canucks.

    You’re an added piece to a team. You can drop that other part for now. Need to start a petition to rest Petterson.

    When I read the answer to “What made you a Canucks fan as a kid?”, that was it, I’m all in for Zadorov, running through a wall for him

  9. Great interview I’m excited to see what difference he can make

    His Vancouver connections basically makes him a hometown kid. Welcome big Z
